I know the IncludeText Field will include part of the text from an Include File if it is in a bookmark. The format is {IncludeText "File Path" Bookmark}. I have 2 files: Source and Target.

Source is based on a form template, Source.dot. I included a Text Form Field and gave it the bookmark AA. I also included other text in a "normal" bookmark, BB.

In Target I have 2 fields: {IncludeText "C:\\Source.doc" AA} and {IncludeText "C:\\Source.doc" BB}. The text from BB shows up, but the one for AA is blank.

If I go into Source and look under Bookmarks, both AA and BB are there.



Any idea why this is happening, and more importantly, any idea on how to make this work? If not, it seems like a real bug in Word 2003 as they are both definitely considered to be bookmarks.

Thank you,

Stuart

Hi Stuart,

To reference content in a protected portion of a document (which is what a formfield will be) via INCLUDETEXT, you need to add the \! switch to the INCLUDETEXT field.
